  • Duration:
    • 20 min
  • Distance:
    • Width per section 6 mtr length 8 mtr.
  • Objective:
    • Search for the attacker in possession of the ball and pass to him so that he can score.
    • The four players are only allowed to move in their own box to protect the passing line.
    • The 2 attackers are free to move around the four squares but behind the defenders.
    • When the ball is in the possession of the attacker, the defender can try to conquer it in that square.
    • If scoring is too easy, the attackers are obliged to play at least once before they can score.
    • When there are more players in the box, you have to add more players.
    • If there is an uneven number of players, 1 team has more attackers but then the rule that attackers must play at least 1x over before they can score comes into effect.
